FUZZ- POGO PEDALS Moder Fuzz... NPN transistor Fuzz ...modern? ...No ...cool? ...Yes

POGO PEDALS MODERN FUZZ

$135.00 USD

A new company with a gimmick. They promote a package from a group of 6 mini pedals where if you buy two you get a third one free. Each has a novel slant. It is all too much of 

a circus for me. I am intrigued by them borrowing the Tom Oberheim 1972 version of the original Fuzz Tone using NPN transistors. The PNP transistors  arrived and went quickly as they were very poor for audio and meant for switching circuits like a garage door opener. They became resurrected because they are the guts of the grid in solar cells that are ridiculously robust outdoors.

The layout is level, gain, clean and a switch for voicing. Blending in clean is magic. 

The blend makes the Fuzz very usable as without it you get a total garage band 'bee-buzz'.

CONCLUSION

I love the sound but I am not impressed by the price as it is con job for you to buy the package of 3 pedals. I find their other pedals unremarkable and there are $30 Chinese cheapies you can get as good.
